Reconstruction is the term used to represent the period of time occurring after the Civil War. States began to reunite as a single nation. For the first time in American history, all races considered free. However, equality, is entirely another issue. Throughout the decade taking place after the Civil War, precedents were established that would set the stage for modern American race relations, economics, and political values based upon the following issues:
1. What rules should govern how former Confederate states and Confederate soldiers rejoin the union?
2. What is the best way to ensure liberty and equality for newly free black Americans?
3. What role will free black Americans have within society?
4. What should be done about the devastated economy of the south?
5. What brings an end to “Reconstruction”?
Students will create a website to convey research and analysis about the impact of the decisions made during Reconstruction. Your ultimate goal is to establish evidence supporting the following prompt: To what extent was Reconstruction a success? To what extent was it a failure?
